Floor Coatings in Lemont

Flake floors for Lemont garages, basements and shops

Whether a floor lasts or peels usually comes down to what happened before the color went on. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew diamond grinds the concrete, never acid etches it, and repairs cracks and pits until the slab is sound. A moisture vapor barrier epoxy base goes on next, and we broadcast flake into it to full refusal. We scrape the cured flake and finish with a polyaspartic top coat that resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

We reach Lemont on I-355 and Route 171, and work along Lemont Road, State Street and the neighborhoods above the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal. Lemont has hills and bluffs, so if your driveway pitches down toward the garage, meltwater and salt run straight in under the door. If your house is built into a slope with a walkout basement, that lower slab sits against the ground on one or more sides. Both put water at the surface of the concrete, and both are where a vapor barrier base and a sealed top coat matter most.

How a Lemont floor job goes

We measure the slab at a free estimate and bring cured flake samples you can hold up against your walls and cabinets. The written scope covers the square footage, the repairs, the flake color and the price at $8.50 per square foot with a $2,000 minimum. If something under the old surface changes the work, we write the change up and do nothing until you approve it. You get a set install schedule, and we walk the floor with you when it is ready for foot traffic.
